Requirements to be a Trusted Source and contribute blocks to shared blocklists.

Inclusion Criteria

• Server admin and moderation team must actively moderate against discrimination based on—including, but not limited to—racism, sexism, heterosexism (homophobia, queermisia), cissexism (transphobia), ableism, ageism, casteism, or religion.
• Server should have moderators, working on behalf of many users
• Server must have been in operation for > 6 months
• Server should be some 'microblog' type of fediverse software (e.g., Mastodon, CalcKey, Misskey, Akkoma, GoToSocial, etc.)
• Server admin and moderation team must consent to being publicly acknowledged at the domain level as a source for their curated blocklist, with updates available via API or CSV export. Blocks should be public, but public_reasons do not need to be published or available to the process.
• Existing sources must unanimously agree to the inclusion of a new applicant server's blocklist as a trusted source.

Exclusion Criteria

• Server must not appear on any of the Tier 0 blocklists.
• Admin and moderation team must have no receipts for inauthentic behavior and a history of operating in good faith.
• Server should not be a single-user instance, which helps ensure server blocks are not equivalent to a personal blocklist.

Eviction Criteria

• With an 80% vote, the existing members can put any other member of the council on silence or suspend. This may happen organically, at which point, the source moves to Tier 0, and is no longer eligible as a blocklist source.
• There may be additional occasions where a voice vote might be called. In the case of a voice vote, a simple majority should suffice to ask a source to step down as a blocklist source.
